Plano students arrested in wake of Vines High School fight

Vines High School will have a police presence on Monday after a series of fights last week that led to student arrests.

School officials said one incident happened Wednesday followed by another one on Friday. That fight led to the arrest of an unknown number of students.

Principal Shauna Koehne sent home a letter to parents reassuring them that no weapons were displayed by students or police during the incidents. Officers were called to the school to help manage the situation, and two police officers will be assigned to the campus Monday. Koehne stressed that officials do not tolerate an environment of bullying, fighting or threats of any nature.

“We remind and empower students to recognize and immediately report any inappropriate activities that they witness or experience–and never hesitate to seek the assistance of an adult,” she wrote. “Students should also understand the consequences related to their conduct.”
